4,483 PointsThe color of my hyperlink for h1,h2 and Portfolio is not blue but purple. Why is it so?
When I viewed my webpage after I refreshed it, I noticed that my hyperlinks are not colored blue, it is purple. So the h1 which says Web Pad, and the h2 which says Designer are purple. Only the About and the Contact hyperlinks are colored blue.
Here is my code.
<header> <a href="index.html"> <h1>Web Pad</h1> <h2>Designer</h2> </a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav> </header>

If the hyperlinks are colored blue it means they haven't been visited yet. if they are colored purple it means they have been visited
Pseudo Classes for CSS
a:link - only works for links with a valid link in the href attribute a:visited - indicates link that haven't been visited yet.
Hope I've helped
Happy Coding

4,483 PointsThank you for the response. I did try to click Portfolio earlier. So it just means that it has detected that I have visited or clicked that tab? And so there is nothing wrong with the code?
Oh, I think I got it. We have not set the path to the About, and other sections too. I hope I understood it.
